Hi internals,
A couple of weeks ago, we stumbled over the fact that the original "clone
with" RFC was abandoned and thought it would still be useful to suggest a
trimmed down version of the proposal.
The main goal of this RFC is to propose a lightweight, low friction
implementation of this feature to satisfy the couple of use cases we see
and "round out" PHP in how it handles cloning, especially around
read-only-properties.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/clone_with_v2
We are actively looking for some feedback on
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/clone_with_v2#open_issues,
but of course all
points are welcome.
If this turns out to be more complex than anticipated, for some reason,
specifically around syntax or BC implications, we'd rather not add this at
all.
A preliminary implementation that shows how small the change set needs to
be exists at https://github.com/TimWolla/php-src/pull/6
Kind Regards,
Tim and Volker
